[T3] NEW TO LIST - introduction

[MattCrunk@aol.com]

Hi folks (or should I say volks?)
Just found and subscribed to this list. My wife and I are vintage VW 
enthusiasts residing in Decatur, Alabama. I'm 37, she's 26. 
We currently own a pair of 68s - a 68 Squareback and also a 68 Karmann Ghia.  
The Ghia is a mechanically sound sunday driver with a decent original 
interior, but needs a good deal of body work. The Squareback has a very 
solid, almost rust-free body, but needs an engine, a new interior and paint. 
Both are in the beginning/planning stages of complete restorations.
I already subscribe to a number of online lists of various interests 
including one devoted to Ghias. Looking forward to participation in yet 
another great VW list. 

Any mail order sources for Type 3 resto parts (especially interiors) would be 
greatly appreciated. Also, my wife wants to convert the Squareback to 
automatic, and I think I may have already found a wrecked donor car with good 
engine and auto transmission. Any thoughts or suggestions on this conversion?

Matt & Christy Crunk
